J Majik & Wickaman - In Pieces (Xilent Remix) [Ministry of Sound]

J.Majik & Wickaman are true pioneers of the scene with their hit singles ‘Crazy World’ and ‘Feel About You’ paving the way for drum & bass and dubstep’s burgeoning presence on both national radio and the singles chart.

The tracks dominated Radio 1’s airwaves and took the pair firmly into the mainstream, picking up champions like Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Mistajam, Pete Tong and even Chris Moyles, who did his own version of ‘Feel About You’ for his breakfast show.

They’ve spent the past year remixing dance giants like Deadmau5 and Above & Beyond, along with dropping a slew of underground tracks. Now the duo has returned with one of 2011’s biggest crossover cuts, ‘In Pieces’, a Hottest Record In The World for Zane Lowe and a key track for Annie Mac, Huw Stephens, Annie Nightingale, Mistajam and many others.

Both J.Majik & Wickaman have been at the forefront of the drum & bass scene for over 15 years, running numerous record labels and collaborating with the likes of D&B legends including Goldie, Adam F and DJ Hype. It was Goldie’s Metalheadz imprint that released J’s ‘Your Sound’ track when he was just 16 years old, having had several releases on cult UK label, Suburban Base.
